My. Jii6a KcCaryar’a Proposed Study of tile 1956 HI WAY Revolution

ACTION REQUIRB* • REFERENCES

1. We have considered the merits of Mr. Me Car gar's proposed
book on the 1955 Bevolution and have con cluded that it would not
be in the best Interest of 0070KB or KUBABK to make non-public
material available to him. As you know, relations with HI WAY,
while leaving a good deal to be desired, are nevertheless in
better shape than they have been for some time and we do not
Judge it to be to ODYOKE’s advantage to make material available
to publication which could complicate these relations or at
least adversely affect chances for improving the relations.
Obviously, we have no comment on Mr. McCargar’s writings based
on overt materials.

2. A somewhat lesser consideration is Mr. McCargar's quali-
fications for the writing of a serious, authoritative work on
this subject. Mo doubt he is a gifted writer but he has neither
the scholarly nor public reputation to propel anything he writes
into the public eye with the proper authority. In any event,
much has already been written on this subject and such of it is
serious and would seem to serve the purpose which Mr. McCargar
had in mind.

3. The various KIJBABK offices who could possibly be
approached by Mr. McCargar on this matter have been Informed
accordingly.

4. Strictly for your information only, this decision was
reached on the basis of a NYXIS recommendation concurred in by
Chief, KUDOVE and approved by the Deputy 01 rector/ KUBABK *
